Shaw  University. 

HAW  UNIVERSIT  Y  was  established  in  a  humble  way  as  a  mission 
station  in  the  suburbs  of  Raleigh,  North  Carolina,  in  the  autumn 
of  1865,  by  Henry  Martin  Tupper,  of  Wales,  Mass.  The  work 
grew  on  his  hands  and  a  larger  equipment  was  needed.  'Ehis  was 
supplied  very  largely  by  the  work  of  his  own  hands  and  the  hands 
of  his  supporters  and  students.  The  making  of  bricks,  the  erection  of  buildings, 
and  all  of  the  varied  work  pertaining  thereto,  were  directed  and  largely  carried  on 
by  himself  and  his  students. 

Industrial  work  was  made  prominent  from  the  beginning,  and  when  the 
girls’  department  was  established,  in  1874,  industrial  work  for  young  women  was 
also  added,  and  has  been  carried  on  to  the  present  time. 

The  young  men  receive  instruction  in  manual  training,  carpentry,  the 
preparation  of  plans  for  buildings,  and  the  making  of  estimates  for  material 
and  work.  A  blacksmithing  department  gives  employment  to  quite  a  number. 


and  in  the  machine  shop  instruction  in  lathe  work  is  given  in  both  wood  and  metals. 
This  work  has  been  carried  on  with  great  success,  and  there  is  now  a  demand  for 
larger  quarters  for  industrial  work  for  both  the  young  men  and  the  young  women. 

A  cookipg-school  room  has  been  built,  and  just  as  soon  as  friends  provide 
the  means  for  furnishing  the  room  this  department  will  be  put  into  full  operation. 

It  is  desired  to  extend  the  women’s  industrial  department  so  that  the  field  of 
instruction  in  domestic  arts  can  be  completelv  covered. 

While  the  young  men’s  work  has  been  carried  on  with  a  high  degree  of 
success,  there  is  a  lack  of  room  for  enlarging  the  work  and  for  the  addition  of 
other  departments. 

At  the  present  time,  June,  1902,  the  Shaw  singers,  a  company  of  young  men 
from  the  Institution,  are  giving  concerts  in  the  North  to  raise  money  for  a  new 
hospital  and  the  establishing  of  a  nurses’  training  school. 

The  enlarging  of  the  industrial  departments  for  men  and  women,  and  the 
erection  of  a  larger  hospital  and  the  addition  of  a  nurses’  training  school,  are  the 
imperative  needs  of  the  hour. 


FIRST  RESIDENCE. 


Thousands  of  graduates  and  former  students  from  this  Institution  are 
scattered  throughout  the  entire  Southland  and  many  are  found  even  in  the  North. 

They  have  shown  themselves  a  credit  to  the  Institution,  and  almost  without  ex¬ 
ception  have  proven  themselves  useful  and  law-abiding  citizens  in  their  respective 
communities,  and  they  are  respected  by  the  best  people  of  both  races. 

The  following  letter  from  Hon.  Charles  B.  Aycock,  the  present  Governor 
of  North  Carolina,  will  show  the  standing  of  the  Institution  : — 

State  of  North  Carolina,  Executive  Dept., 

Raleigh,  April  7,  1902. 

To  zvhom  it  may  concern: — 

1  am  acquainted  with  the  work  done  at  Shaw  University,  Raleigh,  N.  C.,  and  I  can 
assure  everyone  that  any  money  given  to  President  Charles  F.  Meserve  for  the  use  of  that 
Institution  will  be  wisely  expended.  The  Institution  has  the  confidence  of  the  best  people 
of  the  State. 

V’ery  respectfully, 

CHARLES  B.  AYCOCK, 

Governor  of  North  Carolina.

Reached  by  the  lines  of  the  A.  T,  &  S.  F.  Railway 
System,  offers  a  most  inviting  field  for  scientific 
study  on  geological,  botanical  and  ethnological  lines, 
as  well  as  delightful  vacation  opportunities.  The 
climate  of  the  high  plateaus  of  New  Mexico  and 
Arizona  is  almost  ideal,  and  the  wonderful  petrified 
forests,  cliff  dwellings,  Indian  pueblos,  great  canons 
and  immense  pine  forests  are  an  inexhaustible  pleas¬ 
ure  ground.
